Raw Organic Rivera Gum Honey from Uruguay 227g Sweet Flavor

"This honey has a fudgy texture but is smooth in the mouth. The depth of the floral notes is outstanding and long lasting. A very special honey indeed."

This was the view of 8 to 16 different judges at the UK Guild of Fine Food who awarded our Raw Organic Rivera Gum Honey a Two-Star Great Taste Award 2017.

In 2011 this honey beat over 200 honeys to win the coveted international Biolmiel prize for the tastiest organic honey in the world.

It tastes like butterscotch caramel toffee fudge with a lingering chocolate aftertaste.

Harvested by six local beekeepers from a small forest of eucalyptus trees on the borders of northern Uruguay and southern Brazil, this honey is one of the purest eucalyptus honeys in the world, with a eucalyptus pollen count of over 85%.

It can be eaten or used externally on the face, skin and hair.

This honey tastes addictively delicious straight off a spoon, in creamy organic plain yoghurt, or on top of premium vanilla ice-cream.
